no cliff into larvae. it goes butterfly, larvae, billygoat. billygoat is an absolute blast. need about another 6 feet of snow tho

I've heard Billygoat is awesome. I don't even know where to start to explain where i think the drop into Larvae is. We don't spend enough time at Lucille to go explore past butterfly but would like to see more. Renshaw on the otherhand......................:d:beer::d

I'm wondering if anyone has a first hand update for the conditions in Renshaw this week. Trying to decide if were heading out boxing day or not.
Has there been a significant amount of snow singe last weekend?

Thx.

Just had a call from a Peep who was there last weekend and would not rider there unless there was an additional 3 feet of snow. Supposedly the creek by the cabin is still open, I've never seen that in my time of sledding.

Barry was up renshaw just the other day and found armpit deep snow. Some area's are skinny but you can find decent snow. On monday i had guys in the shop that made it all the way back to spirit lake they said.

I was with Barry on that ride. Yes there was some decent snow but you have to look for it. The trail to spirit lake looked a little skinny on the snow side with quite a few rocks showing. The back side of the saddle has not had much snow and needs quite a bit more. I wasn't totally disapointed with my ride but i have to say it wasn't the best. The truth is that the snow fall levels are at a bare miniumn for the time of year. If your looking for a ride you will get it, if your looking for the best ride ever, you won't.


IT NEEDS TO SNOW, and it will, be patient folks

We were up in McBride on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rode Belle the first day as a test and tune day. Very low snow conditions. Would not recommend heading up if you're travelling very far. I know the fella's that dropped down to Spirit Lake. They said they found some good snow, but spent 3 hours getting back up out of there, and they're all very experienced riders. Had 9 sleds in the group, and had 6 overheat with scratchers on the way down. I love to ride in McBride, so I sure hope they get some snow soon, but I won't be back until they get at least 2 - 3 ft more. Not worth the tension of rock, tree, or stump. Parts are too expensive.

Unfortuately so far no new snow, maybe a skiff up top, but it is supposed to snow and I guarantee you will know when it snows as all of us locals will be cheering loud enough you'll be able to hear it in Ontario! Also I will keep everyone updated on here!
